Keep at it - it will come.
Theme of the tread is to show new hunters sometimes it takes a bit of time when you don't get lucky right away. Every day hunting is a learning day, and it can always get better.

Yup, grew up in Kelowna - sure a lot different now.

Unfortunately, I didn’t come from a hunting family, but did tons of fishing, camping and off-roading in the Okanagan and Shuswap areas. I finally did my CORE 4 years ago, and have lots of grouse, ducks and a turkey, but have yet to see a single legal deer! I haven’t been super dedicated to deer hunting as I have bird dogs, but dammit, I really would like to at least SEE a legal deer! I have no trouble finding deer, and sign, but just haven’t seen THE deer yet... Next year, right?
